Very Scarce First Edition. With illustrations by Addie Ledyard being a charming engraved frontispiece and three engraved plates, also with woodcut initials at the start of each chapter. 8vo, publisher's original royal blue cloth, the upper cover with gilt lettering and a design featuring cattails and grasshoppers in gilt and blind, the spine gilt lettered within elaborate gilt tooling. 274, [2] pp. A very nice copy of this rather scarce first edition, the text is clean and fresh, free of any staining or foxing, the hinges are sound though one of two of the signatures are a bit shaken, the cloth is bright with nice gilt, some rubbing and a few abrasions at the tips and extremities.
